Jyoti served ten years in the air force and was discharged in 2023 with chronic tinnitus. She has been waiting nine months for support, and meanwhile is sleeping at a brother's place.
The plan: a trained service dog and handler course. The quote comes to $800.
Jyoti is receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and is committed to recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
Money will be paid to the training provider and the landlord directly.
Where the $800 goes:
• Training provider fees: $400
• Housing deposit and first month: $250
• Transport to appointments: $80
• Essential household items: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.

how is Jyoti doing now?
Keep going, Vijay. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Riverside!
Sending love, Vijay. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Vijay. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Quezon City
Thinking of you, Vijay. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
You're not alone, Vijay. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
